Education is the foundation of national development. With the development of the Chinese economy, vocational education is increasingly valued by the government. As an important component of China's education system, vocational education is an important form of education to improve the quality of Chinese citizens and plays a crucial role in China's modernization and industrialization construction. According to the National Vocational Education Reform Implementation Plan released by the State Council in 2019, vocational education should be placed in a more prominent position in education reform and innovation and economic and social development, and efforts should be made to cultivate high-quality workers and skilled talents. Many parents and students also consider secondary vocational schools as their first choice for further education. However, the current education level of many secondary vocational schools is far from meeting the requirements of parents and students.
